GLOW accounts
Hello,
Usernames and passwords for GLOW will be handed out tomorrow. They will be on a piece of red card (password pass) so that it’s easier to find.
All GLOW passwords are subject to an annual password change. As pupils will be using their GLOW accounts at home and in school, it is my priority to ensure both myself and parents have access to the most recent passwords in order to help them log in.
If a pupil’s password is changed in school I will update their ‘password pass’. I would also ask if parents could please do the same if the password change is prompted at home. This will ensure pupils have access to learning resources at home and in school.
Thank you for co-operation and patience, it has taken a little longer than anticipated to ensure all individual GLOW accounts are up to date.
If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

Homework
Over the coming weeks further advice will be issued with regards to homework.
For the moment I would ask that parents make use of existing online platforms such as Sumdog and Literacy Planet – passwords will be reissued this week although these have not changed.
In addition to these, Topmarks provides a range of online games which promote numeracy skills.
Also if your child has access to a keyboard, any typing practise would be excellent as children will be encouraged to use chrome books independently in school.
Physical Education
I would also ask that you encourage your child to get changed by themselves as much as possible as they are expected to get ready for PE independently. Help is always on hand but the more independent your child can be in getting changed, the more time children have to participate in PE lessons.
PE days are a Thursday and a Friday, for the moment both sessions take place outdoors.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
First week in Primary 2a
Miss Walker had a great week with Primary 2A and was very impressed by their creative skills.They made some fantastic freeze frames after reading The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch !
Puzzles!
Layla has been helping Anthony all week to complete puzzles! Well done 👍 
The Green Squares
The green squares have been enjoying their independent tasks completing number squares to 100 and completing quick addition calculations! Keep up the hard work! 
Construction
During zone time I have spotted lots of boys and girls doing amazing things with the constructions materials!
The boys were shocked when they noticed our construction blocks had started to come apart 😨
So they decided to mend the block themselves using the wood work bench! Demonstrating skills for life! Well done an thank you! ☺️
How amazing is Layla’s bunny made from blocks. 
Layla, Leon and Kameron had a go at building a house out in the atrium! 
Lacy and Noah chose to make a tower using the dominos! How tricky! The whole class were excited by their idea and had a go themselves! 
We can all use the hammer very well, so this week we have been learned how to use the saw. 
Because P1a love construction we borrowed the Kapla and set ourselves challenges in teams! Don’t our bridges look amazing!
